NFL’s Thursday Night Football is a great excuse to get together with friends and start the weekend of football early. Unless, of course, you’re Elliott, a conservationist incurably devoted to preserving the lineage of the rare and majestic cockeyed waladoo. While Elliott watches the waladoo from a perch above a frozen forest, his colleagues are cozied up at the local pub watching all the Thursday Night Football action.
This spot titled “Waladoo” and the fictitious bird named waladoo were made up by the creative ensemble at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, San Francisco. Aaron Stoller of Biscuit directed “Waladoo.”

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
